Watch_kha_wen seeks advice from the community on choosing a single watch from a shortlist of four luxury timepieces, considering a small wrist size constraint of 37mm for round watches. The discussion revolves around the Patek Philippe 6000G-012, Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface, Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 1931 Ultra Thin in pink gold, and the Rolex Yacht-Master 37mm.
If it fits you well, and it sure seems to, the reverso tribute duo is one gorgeous piece to go for. The pink gold reverse is nice too, but the blue tribute duo is so nice... That Patek does nothing for me; same for the Yachtmaster (except for the new RG version, I never have appreciated the Yachtmasters). This message has been edited by vitalsigns on 2016-06-08 14:03:01

And there are less and less manual winding movements. I would not consider it as a problem. Best, Nicolas
If the watch is having an exhibition back, manual is often nicer to watch. Reverso Due does not offer that. Best, Kari
What a fantastic watch is the Reverso Tribute Duo! Two gorgeous faces and such a useful complication in a single piece.
A comfortable size, a lot of history, nicely executed and essentially two watches in one. Can't go wrong with that.
